Member of the Executive Board, Founder<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Your topics<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

There is a wide range of topics and activities. On the one hand, I’m serving our customers as IT architect and project & program manager for dedicated projects. On the other hand, I devote myself to technology integration in business environments, sales & networking as well as building strategic partnerships.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How did you join elpix? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

I co-founded elpix in 2001.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What would you like to learn and why? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Since I was a little boy, I have been fascinated by life-long learning. I always wanted to be part of a larger community in which we can learn and grow. A community that is constantly evolving while staying true to its values. Philosophy, history, music instruments, a new language… learning is fun.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n

As part of the Executive Board, I am responsible for the strategic development of our corporate group. Every day, I am motivated to make elpix a place where people meet, grow and can achieve their full potential.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How did you join elpix? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

I completed the dual studies program at elpix.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What are your favourite books and why? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Those who know me, know that I like to read a lot. At the moment, I like the books by Ferdinand von Schirach, because they are very entertaining. I also enjoy reading “world literature” classics.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Your topics<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

One of my strengths is to translate complex issues into simplified processes and individual work packages. It contributes to developing innovative and sustainable products and services, as well as to focus on operational factors and costs early on by verifying its business efficiency.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How did you join elpix? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

I met Arian, one of elpix’ founders, while I consolidated infrastructure services at my previous employer. In this position I wanted to change the approach from purchasing individual resources to defined results. In this context, I got to know elpix, its culture and mindset. After a few years of collaboration, we then discussed how a joint cooperation could look like…<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>You are able to become an expert immediately. What would it be? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Sustainable and renewable energies. This is the industry of the future. At the moment, I’m using my expertise on processes and IT. However, I would like to be an expert of the dedicated products. I expect a lot of innovation in the next 15 years here. Why can’t streets transform sunlight into energy? Why can’t cars charge inductively while driving or house walls \u2026 and many more.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What skills would you like to learn and why? <\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>

My current colleagues Thomas Werkes & Andre Turner brought elpix AG to my attention, which resulted in a conversation with the management board.
